Excerpt from The Luck of the "Gold Moidore" Being the Contents of the Original Manuscript Written by Master Andrew Barton, Sometime Merchant and Shipowner, of Plymouth Town, England, Which Was Found in the Old Log Hut on Curdie's River And without doubt he would have gone along in the same state of mind for another mile or two, had not prosaic circumstance (ever dogging the feet of the lover) decreed it otherwise. There is in the Heytesbury, as in most Victorian forests, a variety of the Mimosa family, known colloquially as Prickly Moses. Instead of leaves, Prickly Moses is furnished with a kind of needle, not unlike a miniature pine needle; these are soft and inoffensive to the last degree while green, but if dry, woe to the rider who may have to push his way amongst them; for dryness makes them sharp and hard as steel, and they not only pierce through clothes and esh, but being easily detached, remain where they stick. The price of exemption paid by all who traverse these forest ways, is eternal vigilance, and Jim Malcolm, dreamer of dreams and seer of visions, neglecting to pay this price, had perforce td pay another, and presently found himself being dragged through a clump of Prickly Moses, from which the tiny darts fell in thousands, each one finding its mark. It was as though all the Lilliputians stood upon the tree-tops, and hurled their Spears at him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
